Bacon Sausage

Ah, the ingenuity of bacon-lovers. Always out finding new ways to incorporate bacon into their daily lives by wrapping, stuffing or infusing a favorite dish with smoky goodness. And while I think many of us have made great strides in this arena, I’m officially handing the trophy to Dave of the Ridiculous Food Society.

We once featured bacon-wrapped sausage in our food porn section, but Dave has far surpassed this meaty obsession by making sausage out of bacon. That’s right, spiced and seasoned ground bacon inside sausage casing. (See the RFS link above for the full recipe.) And he made this entire thing up himself. I’m totally jealous.

You’ll have to check back with Dave’s site later today or tomorrow to see how the cooking and tasting went. I, for one, can hardly wait. In the meantime, here’s the bacon quote of the week:

Well, Dave actually made his own by grinding some bacon (food processor) and adding spices. I’ve never seen it for sale myself, but I’m sure it’s worth the work. I know I’ve really enjoyed making ground bacon for recipes like meatballs…

He may have invented his own bacon sausage recipe, but a sausage company in Kansas City, R.B Rice Whole Hog Sausage, was selling bacon sausage through grocery stores in 1970! So bacon sausage is not exactly a new idea.
